Tocolysis

12/01/1998 - "Our data revealed that the maternal serum IL-8, IL-6 and CRP determinations are very useful in the predicting of the efficacy of tocolytic therapy in women with threatened preterm labor. "
08/01/1999 - "We supplemented a search of entries in electronic databases with references cited in original studies and review articles to identify randomized trials assessing the efficacy of maintenance tocolytic therapy after resolution of the acute preterm labor episode. "
08/01/1999 - "Our purpose was to analyze published randomized trials assessing the efficacy of maintenance tocolytic therapy after short-term tocolysis in patients with acute preterm labor. "
01/01/2014 - "In women with preterm labor, tocolysis has not been shown to improve perinatal mortality; however, it is often given for 48 hours to allow for the corticosteroid effect for fetal maturation. "
01/01/2011 - "In women with preterm labor, tocolysis has not been shown to improve perinatal mortality; however, it is often given for 48 hours to allow for the corticosteroid effect for fetal maturation. "

10/01/1993 - "[The efficacy of prophylactic antibiotic and tocolytic therapy for premature rupture of the membranes--a prospective randomized study]."
06/01/2007 - "The article concludes that medical personnel should actively identify the needs of pregnant women and provide family-centered nursing care to diminish the impact of preterm premature rupture of membrane and maximize the positive results of tocolysis."
09/01/2013 - "Studies that were limited to preterm prelabour rupture of membranes, recurrent preterm labour or in which the women without tocolysis represented a potentially biased subgroup, or were not tocolysed because of contraindications were excluded. "
06/01/2004 - "This study was undertaken to evaluate whether aggressive tocolysis improves pregnancy outcome after preterm premature rupture of the membranes (PPROM). "
01/01/1998 - "The objective of our study is to determine whether aggressive tocolysis in patients with preterm premature rupture of membranes between 24 and 34 weeks gestation improves neonatal outcome. "

10/01/2012 - "Continued tocolysis on demand and full regimen of mono or combined antibiotic regimen for maternal infection achieved significantly longer delay between admission to delivery with improved in neonatal outcome in cases negative for IAI: only 2 of 14 newborns suffered of major neonatal complications vs. 4 of 9 newborns delivered for IAI. "
03/01/1997 - "Evaluation for fetal pulmonary maturity and intrauterine infection, in concert with evaluation of gestational age-dependent risks of prematurity, may be helpful in determining whether tocolysis should be attempted. "
03/01/1994 - "This study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of screening for infection and of antibiotic treatment in reducing postpartal infectious complications in patients with so called idiopathic preterm labour being treated with tocolysis intravenously. "
01/01/2011 - "Patients with low and very low family income showed a significantly higher prevalence of vaginal infections, increased periods of tocolysis requiring hospitalization, prolonged hospital stay until the end of pregnancy, and lower gestational age at delivery. "
01/01/2011 - "Demographic characteristics, gestational age at referral, the prevalence of infections, tocolysis care with hospital readmission, prolonged hospital stay until delivery, and gestational age at delivery were evaluated. "

10/01/1996 - "Overall improvement in perinatal outcome may be achieved with a comprehensive program of preterm birth prevention without the use of maintenance oral tocolytic therapy."
03/01/2015 - "We found no difference between groups in tocolysis or preterm birth. "
06/01/2014 - "In an unselected group of women with signs of preterm labour, maintenance tocolysis is not effective in the prevention of preterm birth and does not improve neonatal outcome. "
11/01/2011 - "These data indicate that pharmacologic stimulation of myometrial K(Ca)2.2/2.3 channels effectively suppresses Ca(2+)-mediated uterine contractions and delays preterm birth in mice, supporting the potential utility of this approach in tocolytic therapies."
10/01/2011 - "Myth: tocolysis for prevention of preterm birth has a major role in modern obstetrics."

01/01/2014 - "Our review suggests there is insufficient evidence to support tocolytic therapy for women with PPROM, as there was an increase in maternal chorioamnionitis without significant benefits to the infant. "
01/01/2011 - "Our review suggests there is insufficient evidence to support tocolytic therapy for women with PPROM, as there was an increase in maternal chorioamnionitis without significant benefits to the infant. "
01/01/2014 - "For women with PPROM before 34 weeks, there was a significantly increased risk of chorioamnionitis in women who received tocolysis. "
08/01/2012 - "Group A (47 cases): tocolytic therapy was continued to prevent preterm delivery until clinical chorioamnionitis (CAM) was diagnosed between January 2000 and June 2004. "
01/01/2011 - "For patients with PPROM before 34 weeks, there was a significantly increased risk of chorioamnionitis in women who received tocolysis. "
